Question
Can the condition of a cerebral palsy child be controlled?
Answer
Cerebral palsy typically refers to a non-progressive central nervous system disorder caused by various reasons before or within one month after birth, leading to motor impairments. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It often accompanies sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral impairments, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities, and may also include epilepsy seizures. The principle of cerebral palsy treatment is early diagnosis and early intervention to promote normal motor and sensory development and inhibit abnormal movement patterns. According to different developmental stages, treatment should be progressive and persistent, with active participation from the child’s parents and close collaboration with medical personnel to enable the child to achieve self-care in daily life.
